Quota International’s 6000 members change lives through service and friendship for deaf, hard-of-hearing and disadvantaged women and children in local communities around the world. Founded in 1919, Quota International is one of the oldest international service organisations for women. Today, membership also includes men and youth in North America, South America, the Caribbean, the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, and Europe.

Quota’s motto, “We Share,” guides members to develop friendships, encourage others, and promote international understanding. Quota is known especially for service to disadvantaged women and children and to people who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, and speech-impaired.
